  • Edit to tape wants to re render

    Posted by Sean Davison on June 14, 2007 at 6:54 pm

    I’ve had this one before – I’m trying to lay of a 50 min HD sequence that has been completely rendered (no green lines!)

    FCP wants to spend the next hour re rendering it for play out – I had this the other day on a 10 sec commercial and it didnt really matter – 50 mins though???

    I remember this happening a while back but cant remember the solution.

    I’m using FCP 6 which seems to have regressed a few versions

    Well I’m sorry to hear this is still happening with FCP6 (I haven’t upgraded yet).
    But my guess is, in your sequence you probably have one of your video tracks
    turned off (disabled…dark). This was a bug in previous FCP versions.
    It causes edit-to-tape to re render, even when you rendered ALL yourself.
    Either delete that track or if you want to save that track for the future,
    copy the sequence and delete that track from the version you are trying to layback.

    Let us know,
    Dan

    Ive spent all night trying to solve this then I realised that on track 14 hidden way up high was a switched off track with a disabled clip….IT WORKS – You Da Man!!!!!!!

    You just made my day too Sean. Helping out a fellow editor is great karma.
    But I’m only passing along knowledge I myself learned here about six months ago,
    when someone kindly gave me the answer. But we were hoping FCP6 would have
    fixed this stupid bug.

    Later,
    Dan

    Nah…..Apple are too busy adding new features to keep the product sexy. They need someone there to keep them tweaking with all the bugs that we keep on reporting and they keep on ignoring.

    Media Manager is more broken in 6 than it was in 5.1.6

    How many time must I crash in a day? (6 so far!)

    Thanks again

    Sean
